President Bola Tinubu has commissioned a newly constructed military barracks to provide accommodation to Nigerian Army personnel in Abuja.
The facility named “Bola Ahmed Tinubu Barracks” which is located in the Asokoro area, provides quarters for personnel of the Army including 16 Major Generals Quarters, 34 Brigadier Generals Quarters, 60 Major-Colonel Flats, 60 Lieutenant Captain Flats, and 180 Senior Non-Commissioned Officers blocks of flats.
Others include 264 Corporal and Below Flats.
While speaking on Thursday during the commissioning of the facility under the Nigerian Army Special Projects in Abuja, Mr. Tinubu expressed profound gratitude for their service.
“You are our heroes, and I thank you for what you have been doing for this country,” he said.
President Tinubu stressed the importance of the military’s contributions to the nation, reiterating his administration’s resolve to support the troops.
“What you are doing for Nigeria is remarkable. The only way to appreciate you is to continue to show support to the men and women in uniform,” he stated.
Highlighting the significance of the newly constructed facilities, Mr. Tinubu noted that the project aligns with the Federal Government’s commitment to enhancing the welfare of military personnel.
“Knowing that the federal government is always ready to provide what the troops need is essential for winning battles,” Tinubu remarked.
He assured the troops that their welfare would remain a priority, saying “it is your welfare we are not going to compromise.”
The Bola Ahmed Tinubu Barracks is equipped to address the acute shortage of accommodation for personnel of the Army Headquarters and other Army establishments in Abuja.
